Let's help support them and feel at home in Israel!

About 6500 "Lone Soldiers" serve in the IDF. Almost half of these "Lone Soldiers" are Jews or Israeli citizens, that were raised outside Israel. The other half are Israeli citizens from broken or single-parent homes that find it difficult to support their youngsters during their IDF service.

The soldiers from abroad voluntarily leave a usually pleasant and comfortable life to commit themselves to dangerous military service in the Holy Land. A large percentage of Israel's "Lone Soldiers" serve in combat units.

These young soldiers not only lack family comforts and support but usually experience financial hardships during their military service.

From north to south, from east to west, terror, violence and hatred has gripped the country. Who knows where and when the next attack will happen? The burden of the security of our beloved land has fallen on the shoulders of our security forces - police, special forces and our soldiers!

Yesterday was Yom Kippur - the Jewish Day of Atonement. 42 years ago Yom Kippur fell on October 6th when Egypt and Syria, backed by other Arab states, attacked Israel by surprise from both the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. The war lasted from 6 to 26 October 1973 resulting in about 2,000 dead and 6,000 wounded Israelis.
